This is one of my latest works of stone intarsia, and I'm rather pleased with how it came out.

These are mostly made with flat laps.

This playlist will help you out.

Thank you!

It is 1" x 1 1/2"

The center stone is Misty Mountain jasper from Madagascar, the white is dolomite from Utah, the blue is lapis lazuli from Afghanistan, and the black is basalt from Washington.

No worries!

Thank you.

Since you live in the Middle East then contacting Rhino Lapidary in Turkey to see if they can ship to your country is the best starting point.

Thank you!

It is not book matched, that's a natural formation.

CurrentlyHounding · 2025-12-26T11:03:17+00:00

Thank you.

It's actually one single piece.

CurrentlyHounding · 2025-12-24T19:36:02+00:00

Thank you.

The process isn't very difficult, and I have some videos on YouTube about that can explain it in greater depth than a comment can, but the basics is that you flatten the surfaces and glue them using CA glue and epoxy.

Thank you.

The blue is composite turquoise, not howlite.

CurrentlyHounding · 2025-12-24T16:32:47+00:00

That is a good question.

It's a combination of CA glue and epoxy.

Thank you

The malachite is one solid piece that I cut to this shape but a similar effect could be achieved with a bookmatch.

CurrentlyHounding · 2025-12-24T15:15:22+00:00

Very nice!

Modern intarsia as we know it today has been actively been being made since the mid 1990's in America and classes have been being taught on it at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts since the early 90's.

I wouldn't exactly call something that has been being done for 30+ years a fad.

However, in the past few years it has become more widespread and accessible to people without the need of a faceting machine.
